Tailgate struts where to buy- K reg 1993 Estima

[MikeGB]

Does anyone know where I can buy replacement tailgate struts for a 1993 (K reg) imported Estima. I can't find the OEM on the current struts. I would buy aftermarket ones but don't even know what length or load weight to look for. Can anyone help please ?

I've located some Quinton Hazell struts that say they are direct replacements for those numbers, but then it says it's not compatible with my vehicle. So stuck again - what a nightmare!
